Island

Rangitoto Ialand

Forming tiny mounds
on shores of Rangitoto—
ocean laps away.

Gold rush

Photo of a walking trail with eucalyptus trees on either side. The leaves on the trees are dry and browning, and the ground is covered in golden-brown leaves.

The lucky country:
there’s treasure above the ground,
along tree-lined trails

Tendencies

Ultimate human:
to conquer that big mountain;
remain unhappy.

Right of way

Photo of a big old tree slightly leaning towards a walking trail leading into the bush.

A tree in my way
I wondered swerving around;
my way was in its.
